  • 1.  Password Protected ZIP Archive

    Posted May 26, 2010 03:38 PM
    hi !

    I am currently doing a test to detect / block encrypted files or with password, the tests are:
                    
                    
    Detect / block Excel files with password: test successful
                    
    Detect / block Word files with password: test successful
                    
    Detect / block ZIP files with password: test is not successful

    It is not successful on ZIP files with password. What is happening with no "Password-Protected ZIP Archive" detection?

    I tested it on 9 and 10 versions and a I get the same deal

    In politics I am using "File Type" from "
    Message Attachment or File Type Match" by choosing the options:

     


    Do I need to configure or consider something else in this policy ¿

    I am not certain that it would help, but i know that there is an issue with Winzip 11, because they changed the compression method.
    I have not encountered the issue you mentioned, and I have not found anything in the knowledge base concerning this issue.
    I would recommend you open an issue,

    Hi Naor

    I've tested not only with Winzip but also with 7zip, Winrar and others, this problem is independent of the compressing application

    As I said,
    I believe you should open a case with Symantec support to try and resolve the issue.
    You can open a case in this link:
